CHAPTER 40

CAROLINE

The hospital is quieter at night. I have gotten used to it.

Machines still beep steadily somewhere down the hall. Nurses still move quickly between rooms. The city still breathes outside the windows, alive and restless beneath the dark sky.

I’m reviewing bloodwork at the nurses’ station when

    CHAPTER 48SALVATOREThe council chamber feels heavier tonight. The massive room sits at the heart of pack territory beneath layers of concrete, steel, magic, and old bloodlines. Tension bleeds across the obsidian table like a living thing.I stand near the windows overlooking Manhattan while the council argues behind me.“The rogues are getting bolder,” Viktor snaps. “An attack inside city lines should never have happened.”“They’re dead now,” Roman replies flatly.“That does not matter.”“It mattered to the rogues.”Viktor glares at him.The room keeps spiralling, and I clench my jaw hard.Enzo sits slouched in his chair, smoking despite Cassandra glaring at him every few minutes. Dominic flips through security reports while Slade remains by my right, watching everyone carefully.Nobody trusts anyone fully anymore.I stare down at the city lights below.The rogues are no longer testing boundaries. They are hunting, and somehow they keep finding her.My jaw tightens instantly at the

    CHAPTER 47CAROLINEAfter so much confusion, I pull Sage towards the archives unit. It sits buried beneath the hospital. There are no windows or sunlight, just rows of old medical records, metal shelves, flickering lights and so much dust.“This is creepy,” I mutter, scanning another shelf.Beside me, Sage snorts softly. “You’re saying that like you don’t work around dying people every day.”“That’s different.” I push away cobwebs“How?”“Those dying people are alive first.”She laughs quietly under her breath, which surprises me because she barely laughs.I slide another box free and carry it toward the table we’ve occupied for the last hour.Digital records keep disappearing. Patient histories were wiped and bloodwork altered. Someone is tampering with the outbreak data, and I need to know why. Sage sits cross-legged on top of the table, completely unbothered by the chaos around us. Old files surround her in messy piles while she flips through them carefully.“You organise like a cr

  • Carrying the Lycan Alpha's baby.   CHAPTER 46

    CHAPTER 46CAROLINEThe hospital is drowning.I know it the second I step through the medical wing doors. There’s too much noise. The scent of antiseptic, blood, sweat, fear, wet fur and infection fills the air.My stomach twists violently. “Jesus,” I whisper, horrified.Bodies move everywhere around me. Wolves are in dark uniforms. Healers are rushing between rooms. Patients are lined up along the walls because there are no available beds left.The tension is suffocating, and I know something is wrong.Nadia spots me immediately from across the room. Her silver hair is tied tightly behind her head, and her eyes are exhausted. “You’re late,” she snaps while signing paperwork.“I got here three minutes early.” I frown. If only she knew that Salvatore didn’t want me to show.“You’re still late.”She shoves a chart into my chest. “Room seven,” and I scan the file while walking.Rapid tissue regeneration failure and Internal bleeding.My brows pull together, and I murmur. “That makes no s

  • Carrying the Lycan Alpha's baby.   CHAPTER 44

    CHAPTER 44SALVATOREThe rogue is still breathing when they drag him downstairs.Blood trails behind him across the concrete floor, thick and dark. The metallic scent fills the underground holding room immediately. My nose flares, and my wolf roams restless in me. I clench my fist tight, digging my nails into my palm. I want to kill him right now, but I hold back.He struggles weakly against the guards gripping his arms, but it is pathetic. One of his legs bends wrong. His shoulder hangs loose from its socket. He is half dead.The underground cells beneath the council building are cold, carved from stone older than the city itself. Wolves heal quickly, but these walls were built to weaken us, well, them, not me. Silver dust lines the concrete, and chains hang from the ceiling. Old blood stains remain no matter how often the cleaners scrub. It passes a message to every prisoner that step in here. They’ll never leave.The rogue lifts his head, and fear flashes across his face instantly

  • Carrying the Lycan Alpha's baby.   CHAPTER 45

    CHAPTER 45SALVATOREThe council chamber falls silent the second I walk in.The heavy wooden doors shut behind me with a low thud. Every eye turns toward me immediately. Tension thickens the air. They’re quiet, watching me, staring at the blood on my hands.The long obsidian table stretches across the centre of the room beneath the dim amber lights overhead. Ancient carvings line the black stone walls, wolves etched beside crescent moons and old war markings from centuries ago. The room smells like cedarwood, smoke, power, and fear.I look at Viktor, and he’s too arrogant. Beside him is Dominic, calmer and far more intelligent than most of the council combined. Belle sits near the eastern end of the table. Unlike Sage, Belle belongs to an established coven. The witches under her command serve the pack through healing, rituals, warding, and diplomacy. She also knows about the baby, but will die before speaking.Her gaze drops briefly to the blood on my hands before lifting back to my f

  • Carrying the Lycan Alpha's baby.   CHAPTER 43

    CHAPTER 43SALVATOREI wake before she does.She lies against my chest, warm and soft beneath the grey morning light pouring through the curtains. Her hair is spread across my arm and pillow, tangled from sleep and my hands. One of her legs is hooked over mine possessively, and my wolf is quieter than usual.I stare at the ceiling for a long moment, listening to her heartbeat beneath the steady sound of rain hitting the windows outside.My hand slides slowly over her back. I touch her like I need proof she’s still here.Last night should not have happened. Everything between us has spiralled completely out of control. The sex was not the problem. It is never just sex with Caroline. It is the aftermath, the intimacy, and the softness.My gaze drifts downward to her face again.She’s asleep deeply for once. She looks younger like this, and peaceful. She’s safe.My chest tightens painfully. I should move, but I don’t. Instead, I continue watching her breathe. It is absolutely fucking pat
